There's much a-Twitter this morning about the micro-blog/social net/news feed provider's decision to effectively rein in third-party developers with its new API.
There will be new limits for developers on the numbers of third-party apps, the numbers of users/Twitter clients per each app, and how apps are authenticated by Twitter. If the blogosphere is to believed, developers are up in arms, mainly aroused against Twitter's effrontery in trying to dictate what developers do and how they do it.
It's a symptom seen more and more in today's loosely-coupled, everything-is-open, "boundary-free enterprise" business and IT environment, borne of the increased sense of community involvement fostered by socially-adroit IT providers along with open source movements and a massive audience of capable developers/users. Users and developers are made to feel as if they truly are part of what the provider is and does, and thus feel and behave as if they have a significant voice if not control over the same.
The reality is that IT providers, whether Cloud-based, socially-oriented, or traditionally data-center-centric, will do everything reasonably possible and likely to protect their business, and that includes how other businesses – including single-party developers – build off of and profit from them.
Twitter, like Facebook and Salesforce before it, has created an outstanding sense of community and belonging that has both contributed to its own success and created massive opportunities for third parties to succeed as well. But the bottom line is the bottom line. Once a provider establishes a market, it must do all possible to protect and promote its dominance over that market, and Twitter's push toward client limits and associated development uniformity is just such a move.
Should developers suddenly be wary of Twitter, or of other providers that might execute similar moves to control and manage how its services and software are accessed or built upon? Only the most naive ones, unaccustomed to the realities of software business. The most creative developers will find new and better ways of building on and profiting from Twitter, or other platforms, and the best will likely go on to develop other types of platforms and communities – and maybe win awards for doing so.

Out of Inferno review: This fire has no heat, just smoke
Its fire sequences are brilliant and there are some interesting insights in fire-firefighting. Still, Pang brothers' Out of Inferno is not among the top best-disaster films we've seen in the past.india Updated: Nov 26, 2014 16:38 IST
: Out Of Inferno
: Oxide Pang, Danny Pang
: Sean Lau Ching Wan Lau, Louis Koo, Angelica Lee, Sinji Lee
Out of Inferno is certainly not one of those masterpieces you want to watch in a film festival. The Chinese movie was screened at the 45th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2014 as China is the focus country at the festival this year. It was earlier screened at 32nd Brussels International Film Festival.
Even more than a decade after their first film, The Eye, was released in 2002, Oxide and Danny Pang continue to be legendary names for supernatural-thriller enthusiasts. With Out Of Inferno, released last year, however, the director duo seems to have lost the fire.
This one is about two brothers -- Tai-kwan (Sean Lau Ching-wan) and Keung (Louis Koo Tin-lok) who start their careers as firefighters. They start drifting apart when one of them decides to do a business in fire-fighting equipment. The 107 minute-long movie centres around the one day in the life of the brothers, when they are forced to keep their differences aside and work as a team to save hundreds of lives.
While the director brothers, who've also co-written the screenplay, have a fairly thrilling script at hand, they fail to establish the characters well enough to get the audience involved in their emotional conflicts.
Perhaps the Pang brothers tried to explore much more than what they could handle. There are too many sub-plots in Out of Inferno, and none of them is given enough time to develop adequately. The personal challenges firefighters face, the sacrifices they have to make with their families, their emotional turmoils, their choices (or the lack of them) when confronted with a life-and-death situation, the tension between the two brothers on either ends of an ideological difference... none of these are given enough time, and by the end, you feel these issues are all but scattered around in the movie. The problem is, except for the scary fire visuals, none of the elements really leave an impact.
Out of Inferno, however, offers some interesting insights into the process of firefighting - the drills for firefighters, the actual procedure while extinguishing fires and much more. Also, the action-ridden screenplay is exciting enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, and the entire package is a thrilling experience. The fire sequences are scarily scorching and leave you disturbed for long.
The absence of actual human presence, because the directors didn't put in any effort to build the characters, however, mars the whole experience and there is very little you leave the hall with.

Practice That Pays by Wally Armstrong
"Those who strive to teach must never cease to learn" – Bill Strausbaugh
At the end of every golf clinic, I open it up to question-and-answer time. Invariably, I get asked this question: "Hey, Wally, when you were on tour, how many practice balls did you hit each day?"
People probably ask me this question because they hear how Vijay Singh, one of today's top pros, spends hour after hour on the practice tee—before and after his round. "Really, I didn't hit that many balls," I say, "maybe 100 or 125 at the most. But you know what? It's not how many balls you hit that's important, it's the quality of the shots you hit. Hitting 500 practice balls isn't going to make you a great player. Rather, it's the type of effort and concentration that you put into your practice session that really pays off."
Here's an example of what I mean. When I was on the PGA Tour, I would begin my day on the driving range by simulating particular shots that I expected to make on the course that day. One particular session on the California coast paid great dividends. I was playing in the Bing Crosby Pro-Am back in the days when the event was held on the Monterey peninsula south of San Francisco. One of the courses used for the tournament was Cypress Point at Pebble Beach, a course with one of the most famous—and photographed—par-3 holes in the world. The 16th hole is a monster, playing 220 yards from the blue tips toward a small green overlooking the swelling Pacific Ocean. The 16th often makes or break a round, and a par is a good result.
I knew the 16th was a tough hole made even more difficult during the Crosby Pro-Am because of the celebrities playing in the tournament. My playing partner that year was "Dirty Harry" himself, Clint Eastwood, so I knew a huge gallery would be following us. I was also aware that because of the many celebrity hackers in the field, the 16th tee would get backed up; in previous years, I counted four or five foursomes waiting their turn. I also considered the capricious weather. In February, as part of the "Crosby Clambake," wet storms roared through the Monterey peninsula, and it was a rare day when the prevailing westerlies weren't blowing a gale. Plus, you couldn't help but hear the barking sea lions, or, on rare occasions, view spouting whales on their southward journey to Baja California.
Finally, I knew that playing the 16th at Cypress Point involved intense concentration and a steady swing. When you stand on the elevated tee and look down to the coastside green, you have to know exactly what you're going to do with the ball. There can't be any guessing involved.
Those thoughts were banging around my head as I approached the practice tee before the start of my round. I figured I would be hitting a 3-wood or a 1-iron into a stiff wind that day on 16, so I practiced about 20 or 30 3-woods and 1-irons, going through a step-by-step procedure that included visualizing the hole in my mind. Then I hit some shots to several different flags on the driving range, firming up in my mind the setup and swing that I was going to use when I arrived at the 16th tee that afternoon. After hitting several good shots at one of the practice flags, I felt ready.
When our foursome arrived at the 16th tee that afternoon, I felt confident that what I had practiced on the driving range had prepared me well for my all-important tee shot. I went through my usual pre-shot routine and mentally reviewed where I wanted the ball to go. I launched my 3-wood into a swirling wind and watched it land on the green and bounce up to within a foot of the pin—one of the best shots of my career. The gallery roared its approval, and within minutes, I tapped in my "gimme" birdie putt.
As I tipped my hat to the crowd, I knew that birdie effort had started on the practice tee that morning. This type of practice can pay off for you as well, and not for just playing one particular shot on a very difficult hole. The next time you practice before a round, go over in your mind how you want to play several different holes on the course. After you are warmed up, start out by hitting a driver to a certain part of the driving range. Then hit an iron to a flag, then play a few chip shots. Mix up your practice, but always keep hitting to a certain place. The body loves a goal, which is why this is the kind of training pays off in big dividends.
Tips for Effective Practice
Let's review our practice plan:
- Be sure to adequately warm up by swinging two golf clubs and by stretching a club across your back.
- Practice time is rarely beneficial if you are physically tired or lack concentration.
- When you're working with drills or with the training ads, don't be overly concerned about where the balls goes. Simply work on the new swing feelings.
- Quality time is much more important than quantity time. Beginners should always use a tee for better control and contact.
- Practice with a purpose. Work on one or two full-swing areas, and then practice your short game. Keep a note card handy to jot down areas of your game that are going well or going poorly.
- Practice to known distances. Ask if the yardage markers are accurate. Sometimes they aren't.
- Make lots of practice swings with your eyes closed to feel the correct position. Do this with the teaching aids and drills as well.
- A good tip is to play five shots with the training aid or drill, then play five shots with the club on a normal shot, transferring the feeling.
- In short game practice, find a companion and have some friendly competition.
- If you have time, practice after playing a round. Work on areas that need strengthening

Not to be outdone by the Associated Press Style Guide, which recently (finally!) changed the spelling of the abbreviated form of electronic mail from "e-mail" to "email", the Oxford English Dictionary Online has just released its own updated batch of web era neologisms.
Among the newly recognized terms are:
1. OMG, defined as "expressing astonishment, excitement, embarrassment, etc.: 'oh my God'"
Use it in a sentence:
"OMG, I can't believe you haven't heard about Rebecca Black yet!"
2. LOL, defined as "'ha ha!'; used to draw attention to a joke or humorous statement, or to express amusement."
Use it in a sentence:
"LOL, you were right – I love the Rebecca Black video!"
3. "<3" as in "to heart" (v.) something or someone.
Use it in a sentence:
"I <3 the new Oxford English Dictionary updates!"
Perhaps more shocking than the fact that the OED chose to include these terms in its new online edition is that it also cites some surprising historical uses of both OMG and LOL.
The first recorded usage of OMG is from a 1917 letter in which the writer uses the abbreviation in much the same gossipy tone we would use it today. LOL was first used in the 1960s, but back then it was an initialism for "little old lady."
Sadly, there's no word yet on when we can expect to see the inclusions of "FTW", "IRL", or "ROFL"

They can give you valuable information, or be a treat to hunt down. That's how it's done right. Throwing a bunch of random crap into corners and hoping people will give a damn is not doing it right. You have to give players sufficient incentive to run around looking for stuff.
The following games feature awesome collectibles. These are done right."
I wouldn't consider 1ups to be collectibles in the same sense as I would the other items on this list.

Sacramento has for years outperformed much larger cities when it comes to green building construction, thanks mainly to the eco-conscious policies of state government.
Now the green trend has engulfed the private office market as well. Developers in Sacramento — and nationwide — are using sustainability as a key marketing tool in their effort to attract tenants. It's one more selling point in a real estate climate with vacancy rates well into the double digits.
Altogether, nearly 100 commercial and institutional buildings in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties now meet either the "Energy Star" standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards of the U.S. Green Building Council, which designates buildings "silver," "gold" or "platinum."
About a third of the region's estimated 26 LEED-certified commercial buildings are now privately owned, according to the Green Building Council.
Chris Mullins, a Sacramento LEED consultant with Portland, Ore.-based Brightworks, expects that share to grow, even in a rough economy. "If you have to pay $96,000 to get certified to get a tenant," he said, "that's the best $96,000 an owner ever spent."

My daughters and I had a wonderful time in the pool and taking walks around the complex. Very quiet and clean. Highly recommend it and we look forward to going back again.
Weather wasn't good this week but the property was great. From the balcony we could see fireworks at night, in the distance. We were here for business at the convention center and this location is ideal. Will be back next year but will plan to stay longer!!
Comfortable and affordable stay close to everything. Would definitely stay again. Plenty of room and a nice view over the lake. Kitchen was really nice, and the living room was very homey. Thank you!!
For a weekend stay it's wasn't bad.
We visited Universal Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. This location is very convenient to all parks. Very comfortable for the 4 of us. Very quiet location in the complex. Nice balcony overlooking small lake. Pool and hot tub were clean and also not crowded. Beds were very comfortable.
I stayed at this condo while attending a conference at the Orange County Convention Center. It worked out perfectly.
The condo has a balcony that faces a peaceful pond with a walking path around it. There are 2 pools at this complex. One is very close and was not overcrowded. It was nice to walk back from the conference to this lovely condo with a well-equipped kitchen. I could sit on the balcony at night, watch the sun go down and the fireworks over Disney.
The owners couldn't be nicer. The reservation and access was a breeze. I am definitely keeping this condo on my favorites list!
Dear Guest,
You may cancel 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival and receive a full refund. If you cancel within the 30 days, I would refund your money only if I could still rent my place. If I can't rent it, I would give you a credit for a future stay.

Personal Development Tips You Can Use Today
We all strive to be a better version of ourselves. If this is the case for you, then you owe it to yourself to look at these ideas about developing yourself. Whether it is an effort to perform better at work or be a more personable person in your social life, you will find some ideas here to help you build a better you.
To help deal with your depression, try going into a support group for depression. When getting into a group with other people affected by the same condition you are, it can help reduce your sense of isolation. You can also use these groups to provide support for others and give them your own advice with how to cope, along with sharing your own experiences.
Personal Development Is Within Your Reach With These Simple Tips
Many people may appear to have it all together, but the exterior only shows just what is visible. Inside may still need development. If you are lacking confidence, self-assurance, self-discipline, willpower, and/or happiness, keep reading. This article focuses on tips to heighten your personal development and help you achieve a greater self-worth. You are about to be well on our way to a greater, more satisfied self.
Not feeling as good as you should? Sometimes depression strikes all of us. There is no way to get away from it. When you are feeling depressed just take a little time out of your day to get some exercise. Maybe you could go for a walk or a bike ride. The exercise will work magically to counteract the depression, and you will feel better instantly.
Brainstorming Ideas To Transform Yourself For The Better
What is self improvement but your ability to enjoy life? Every talent or skill that you develop, enriches your life. First, comes the thrill of learning to play the piano or playing the position of goalie at soccer. But over the years, this deepens. Your ability becomes an important part of the meaning of life. Here are some tips to help you develop your talents.
Part of any successful personal development program is finding your passion. Your goals in both the short- and long-term should be selected with this in mind. The personal satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from doing work you love should be a goal in and of itself. A goal that calls for work you hate, though, may be too hard to achieve.
Preparation Is Key When It Comes To Personal Development, So Start With Us
A lot of people are finding it more and more difficult these days, to recognize how to help themselves. The key to remember about how to help yourself, is to constantly fill your brain with knowledge about the various ways that you can help yourself. Everything that you learn can help. This article will go over some of the things you can do to improve yourself, as well as, your quality of life.
A great self help tip is to write down everything you like about yourself. Sometimes depressed people develop such a powerful, negative view of themselves because they can only see what they don't like. Writing down a list of what you like about yourself can help you see yourself in a different, more positive light.

Sen. Menendez supporters gather outside his office
In the wake of an indictment on federal corruption charges, Sen. Robert Menendez has temporarily stepped down as the ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee.
"While there is no caucus rule that dictates that I do so, I believe it is in the best interests of the committee, my colleagues, and the Senate, which is why I have chosen to do so," the senator said in a statement.
Sen. Menendez claimed an office oversight for failing to reimburse his longtime friend, Dr. Solomon Melgen, for plane trips made on Melgen's private plane.
Supporters gathered outside his office Wednesday to show loyalty to the senator.
Among the supporters were about a dozen Cuban Americans who were once political prisoners of the Castro regime. They say it will be bad for New Jersey to lose the voice of such an influential voice in foreign relations.
"I'm here to support Sen. Menendez because every time I need a favor to do something for the Spanish community, he's always there," says Adina Dubon, a supporter of the senator.
West New York Mayor Felix Roque was among the supporters.
"Menendez has given [the political prisoners] back their dignity they lost when they were in jail, that's why Menendez is an idol to them," he says.
However, some feel that if the charges are in fact true, the senator should answer for the crimes.
"I think the law applies to everyone. And it doesn't matter who you are. If you violate the law, then you should have to face the consequences," says Mary Hayles, of Roselle.
Sen. Menendez is scheduled to appear in federal court in Newark on Thursday.

Japanese New Year food called Osechi ryori. Osechi ryōri (御節料理 or お節料理) are traditional Japanese New Year foods. The tradition started in the Heian Period (794-1185). Osechi are easily recognizable by their special boxes called jūbako (重箱), which resemble bentō boxes. Like bentō boxes, jūbako are often kept stacked before and after use.
The term osechi originally referred to o-sechi, a season or significant period. New Year's Day was one of the five seasonal festivals (節句 sekku) in the Imperial Court in Kyoto. This custom of celebrating particular days was introduced from China into Japan. If you read more about Osaechi ryori, go this page.
Picture above: Osechi ryori
This is my girlfriend made to this new year. She had been cooking this every year since she married. I had never made it whole things. Now a days, you can buy those already made package from store. My mother makes this every year. This picture has black bean-Kuro mame which I made this time. I made Kuromame couple times already.
Left yellow egg roll called Datemaki (伊達巻 or 伊達巻き), sweet rolled omelette mixed with fish paste or mashed shrimp. They symbolize a wish for many auspicious days. On auspicious days (晴れの日, hare-no-hi), Japanese people traditionally wear fine clothing as a part of enjoying themselves. One of the meanings associated with the second kanji includes "fashionability," derived from the illustrious dress of the samurai from Date Han.
Left top white and pink are Kamaboko (蒲鉾), broiled fish paste. Traditionally, slices of red and white kamaboko are alternated in rows or arranged in a pattern. The color and shape are reminiscent of Japan rising sun, and have a celebratory, festive meaning.
Next to Pink kamaboko, yellow stuff (difficult to see it is picture, sorry) Kazunoko (数の子), herring roe. Kazu means "number" and ko means "child". It symbolizes a wish to be gifted with numerous children in the New Year.
Right top is Kuri kinton which is sweet potato paste and chestnuts.
Next black stuff is Konbu (昆布), a kind of seaweed. It is associated with the word yorokobu, meaning "joy".
Right bottom is shrimp, it's call Ebi in Japanese and skewered prawns cooked with sake and soy sauce.
Left bottom is Kuro-mame (黒豆), black soybeans. Mame also means "health," symbolizing a wish for health in the New Year.
This is Konbu (昆布), a kind of seaweed. It is associated with the word yorokobu, meaning "joy". Konbu, squid and carrots mixed with soy sauce and vineger.
This is Kuro-mame (黒豆), black soybeans. Mame also means "health," symbolizing a wish for health in the New Year.
I will put Kuromame recipe later to another page.

Marin Independent Journal (http://www.marinij.com)
Wednesday, February 7, 2018
Neighborhood association boundaries, floods, mountains and economic factors are some of the things San Rafael residents said they want city officials to consider when a demographer drafts the new City Council election districts later this year.
"Our neighborhood has some flood zone concerns," said Kristine Ringrose. "It would be good to have someone (representing the district) who is dealing with the same thing."
Ringrose and about a half-dozen other residents spoke Monday at the first of five hearings San Rafael is conducting to get feedback in drawing four new City Council districts for the 2020 elections.
Councilman Andrew McCullough urged all residents — particularly those in the Canal neighborhood or other areas where residents might have strong feelings about becoming engaged in city government — to get involved.
"This is when we need to have (difficult issues) discussed with us," McCullough said. "We're being asked to make difficult policy decisions, and if we don't appreciate what's important to the Canal or Spinnaker areas — just to identify those neighborhoods but not to exclude others — how do we come up with districts that are not fraught with all kinds of tensions and divisions unless we know what those residents want?"
The city, which currently elects City Council members on an at-large or citywide basis, has 90 days to get the switch done to avoid potential penalties or legal liabilities under terms of the California Voting Rights Act.
The next four hearings — all at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1400 Fifth Ave. — will be:
• Feb. 20: More information and feedback on how the districts will be drawn.
• March 5: Review and comment on draft maps; to be published Feb. 26.
• March 19: City Council looks at draft maps and election schedule; to be published March 12. An ordinance will be introduced to establish district elections.
• April 16: City Council votes on adopting an ordinance to establish district elections.
Chris Skinnell, special counsel to San Rafael, said apart from keeping population numbers roughly even and trying to avoid creating districts with two sitting incumbents who are both running at the same time against each other, the other factors at play are determined by residents, city officials and simple geography and topography.
"We don't do gerrymandering," Skinnell said, showing as an example a photo of a generic district in a Southern state where all the African-American neighborhoods had been excluded. "The courts have said you can't make race or ethnicity the overriding factors."
Having contiguous characteristics or natural or manmade boundaries are the rule of thumb, he said.
Incumbent City Council members up for re-election in November 2020 are McCullough and John Gamblin, said Interim City Clerk Lindsay Lara.
City Council members Maribeth Bushey and Kate Colin will be up for re-election in November 2022, she said.
Although some of the council members live near each other, it is not possible to say if they would be in the same districts until the maps are drawn.
Mayor Gary Phillips is also up for re-election in November 2020, but he will continue to run citywide, or at-large, so he is not affected by the new districts. Any candidate who would challenge Phillips would also have to run citywide.
"I would like the demographer to look at a map to see where the neighborhoods are and to see if they can somehow try to avoid dividing one neighborhood into three districts," said Jackie Schmidt of the Montecito Neighborhood Association. "Keep it as cohesive as possible."
Resident Jonathan Frieman said he wondered whether a body of water, such as the San Rafael Canal, could be considered contiguous to a neighborhood, such as Spinnaker, allowing a district to "jump" the Canal and be part of a district more economically similar on the other side of the water — instead of being part of a Canal area district that could be less affluent.
McCullough said he could understand that question on economic grounds, but the fact that Spinnaker and the Canal area share a big common problem over lack of parking might be a reason to keep them in the same district.
The other question might be if a neighborhood, such as Spinnaker, is carved out of a district in the Canal, where would officials look for more residents to fill out the population in a Canal-centric district, McCullough said.
"If one of the areas has a preponderance of multifamily homes, for example, do you then look for another neighborhood with a preponderance of multifamily homes?" McCullough asked Skinnell.
The city has set up a webpage with more information on the process at cityofsanrafael.org.

Long lost pizza
Originally published August 24, 2003
I order delivered pizzas from the local Domino's about twice every week. The boys announced hunger pangs at 6:30 yesterday evening, so I called Domino's and ordered TWO pizzas. Cheese and sausage for the mutts and All The Way for me.
The person I talked to said the delivery would be here in 30 minutes.
At 8:30, I called back to ask where in the hell were my pizzas? Nobody knew. The delivery person left over an hour ago. I hung up and the phone rang almost immediately. "Is this Rob Smith? Where do you live? I've got your pizzas but I can't find you."
The dingbat was halfway across the county and Effingham is a BIG county. I gave her instructions, starting with "TURN AROUND!" and told her how to find the Crackerbox. She finally arrived at 10:00 when the boys were almost asleep.
I probably could have called Domino's, raised hell and gotten the pizzas for free. But I didn't. I paid for the pizzas and tipped the delivery person $5.00. I figured she needed gas after all the driving she had done. She was apologetic, explaining that she was new to the job and she didn't know Effingham County very well. I hope she gets better at her work. Otherwise, she won't last long. Not everybody who orders a pizza is as nice as I am when it finally arrives three hours late and I have to tell the driver how to get here.
I kept the boys awake long enough to eat, then I let them fall out for the night.
I never even took a bite of my pizza. I was too sleepy by then.

Kickstarter: The GrowlerSaver!
Update: Because of customer service and supply issues, I have removed links in this post. Check out our Growler Category for more finds.
Recent Growler Finds:
Recent Great Deals:
Check out this Kickstarter project: The GrowlerSaver
What is a Growler Saver?
The Growler Saver is a Patent Pending cap that will ensure a draft-like beer pour out of a growler, even after breaking a growler's original seal and opening it numerous times. Until I developed this cutting-edge industry-first design, draft beer stored in a growler could not retain its optimum freshness and the brewer's intended carbonation levels, especially after the growler's original seal was broken. Now, thanks to the Growler Saver, beer drinkers no longer have to consume an entire growler once they open it for the first time, or otherwise risk their beer tasting old, under carbonated, or full of off-flavors. With the Growler Saver, beer drinkers can open their growlers again and again, with the confidence that the beer inside will taste just as good as it did when it left the tap.
Standard Kickstarter caveats apply. You are investing in a prospective product that may be in the pre-release stages of development. Risks are involved as your reward may not be fulfilled.

Solid workflow automation approach
can do away with common problems
Workflow automation is an essential component to reducing the need for data entry and waste, while increasing quality and profits by improving business processes. When processes are inefficient, this can result in unhappy customers, over-taxed team members, missed deadlines, and elevated costs. Implementing a solid workflow automation approach can do away with these common problems by getting people, processes and goals on the same page. To do this, you need a software application in which to record work, assign tasks, track daily progress, and the like.
Catalyst Group Development helps you achieve this in a number of ways:
If you're always wondering why work processes take so long or why products don't get into development as quickly as they should, you need better workflow automation. If you are striving to make better, more relevant and more immediate decisions to propel your company to a higher level of business efficiency, you need better workflow automation. We can connect you with the resources you need to achieve your goals more quickly and efficiently.

Multifetal Pregnancy Center
Our mission at Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center is to provide comprehensive perinatal care to patients with twins, triplets and higher order multiple gestations to obtain the best maternal and neonatal outcomes. Excellence in the care of multiple gestations is accomplished by our team of New Orleans' largest group of Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists, nutritionists, exercise physiologists, lactation consultants and Neonatolgists.
Multiple Births
The number of twin, triplet and higher-order pregnancies has increased significantly in the last 30 years. In the United States, since 1980, twin births have risen 65 percent and triplet and high-order multiple births have quadrupled. This increase in multiple gestations is related to women's desire to delay child bearing till later in life and the availability of assisted reproductive techniques.
Although multiple gestations account for only 3% of all births in the United States, infants of multiple gestations comprise almost 25% of very-low-birth-weight infants (<1500gms). Severe handicap can occur in 34 out of 1000 twins and 58 out of 1000 triplet survivors. Recent National Vital Statistics data from the United States indicate that twins and triplets are approximately five and 12 times more likely to die by their first birthday than singletons. Extensive research of multiple gestations has shown improved fetal outcomes such as decreased preterm delivery, increased newborn weight and decreased time in the neonatal intensive care unit when Maternal-Fetal Medicine doctors are involved in the care of the pregnancy.

Screening and Testing for Genetic Abnormalities in Multiple Gestations
Genetic abnormalities in pregnancy occur when a problem exists in one or more of the baby's chromosomes. Chromosomes are the individual instructions in each one of our cells that make us unique. Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center offers a variety of screening and invasive testing to identify genetic abnormalities in the multifetal pregnancy.
Prenatal screening tests can estimate a baby's risk of having a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down syndrome, without risk to the pregnancy. In the early part of pregnancy, between 11 to 13 weeks, you can choose to undergo first trimester screening (also known as nuchal translucency (NT) testing). This screening test includes an ultrasound of the back portion of the baby's neck and a simple blood draw. The ultrasound determines if your baby has increased fluid in the back of the neck, a potential sign an underlying chromosomal abnormality. Overall, NT screening in twins has a very high detection rate (>85%) for Down syndrome and is becoming the preferred method for screening in pregnancy. If you present for consultation after 15 weeks of pregnancy you have the option of "quad screening". This is another simple blood test that can be useful for the detection of chromosomal abnormalities between 15 to 21 weeks of pregnancy.
Invasive genetic tests, including chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and amniocentesis, are used to definitively diagnose chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancy. CVS is a procedure in which a small portion of the placenta (chorion) is sampled between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy versus amniocentesis which is a procedure in which a small amount of fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) is sampled after 15 weeks of pregnancy. These tests can be also be used to definitively diagnose other familial genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease.
Also your specialized prenatal care will include a detailed high definition ultrasound examination of your babies, usually performed between 18-20 weeks gestation. This evaluation is designed to look for structural defects that tend to occur more often in multiple than singleton pregnancies. Though not as sensitive for detecting the more common genetic diseases, on occasion ultrasound will find rare disorders that are not screened for using the tests.
Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center of New Orleans has nationally certified Maternal-Fetal Medicine doctors and sonographers who have extensive training in the performance of the above tests. We are proud to offer our patients the most innovative genetic tests that are available anywhere in the nation.
One common complication of carrying multiples is preterm labor and delivery. The average length of pregnancy is 35 weeks for twins, 32 weeks for triplets, and 29 weeks for quadruplets. Even though 35 weeks is reassuring, twins are 10 times more likely, and triplets 30 times more likely, than singletons to deliver very premature (less than 32 weeks). It is this group of early babies that account for the majority of long term complications of premature delivery.
One way to combat the complications of a premature delivery is early recognition of those pregnancies at highest risk for preterm delivery. Early recognition affords the opportunity to be prepared for, and sometimes prevent, premature delivery. Multiple studies have shown that transvaginal ultrasound measurement of the lower segment of the womb (an area called the cervix) can help identify women at risk of delivering early. In addition, the presence of special proteins in vaginal fluid secretions (a substance call fetal fibronectin) can also pinpoint those pregnancies at risk of early delivery.
Here at Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center of New Orleans, our Maternal Fetal Medicine physicians utilize innovative cervical length surveillance protocols, along with periodic fetal fibronectin screening, to help identify those women at risk for preterm labor. Our physicians measure the cervix with high-definition transvaginal ultrasound every two weeks from 16 to 28 weeks of pregnancy and perform fetal fibronectin screening on all women with signs and symptoms of preterm labor. If shortening of the cervix is identified or if fetal fibronectin is detected, multiple interventions, including steroid administration, administration of anti-contraction medications and even surgical stitching of the uterus (a procedure called a cerclage) may be employed to prevent early delivery.
Fetal growth is a complex process dependent on uterine blood supply, placental transfer of nutrients, umbilical cord insertion into the placenta, and fetal genetic potential. The human womb (uterus) was not designed to carry multiple babies thus it is very common for each additional fetus to create a change in the growth of all the intrauterine occupants. Approximately 15% to 25% of twin gestations, and over 35% of triplets, can have signs of poor fetal growth (intrauterine growth restriction) of one or more of the fetuses during pregnancy.
One of the reasons for concern is that babies delivered at a low birth weight (<2500g) are 5 times more likely to die before their first birthday than their normally grown counterparts. Even more concerning is that very low birth weight babies (<1500g) are 99 times more likely to die before their first birthday than babies born of a normal weight. Because of the high incidence of growth restriction in multifetal pregnancies and its association with poor newborn outcome it is imperative for early detection and treatment of this high risk condition.
Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center of New Orleans employs the area's largest group of Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians and nationally certified sonographers who are specialized in the detection and management of fetal growth disorders. As part of your specialized pregnancy care, we evaluate fetal growth in multiple pregnancies every 4 weeks with high resolution ultrasound and fetal growth charts designed specifically for multiple gestations. If we detect abnormalities in fetal growth, the growth patterns are examined even more frequently (typically every 1-2 weeks). In select cases of extreme growth restriction more intensive monitoring including hospitalization with daily fetal and maternal assessments may be employed to maximize newborn outcomes.
Good nutrition, especially for multifetal pregnancies, is one of the most important contributions a mother gives her developing babies. As in singleton pregnancies, nutritional intake should be increased during pregnancy to optimize fetal outcomes. However, simply "eating for three (or four)" is not an acceptable method to address the nutritional requirements of a multifetal pregnancy.
At Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center of New Orleans we recognize the dietary challenges faced by expectant mothers who are carrying more than one baby. A nutrition consultation with our board certified nutritionist during early pregnancy is important to ensure adequate nutritional intake, as well as addressing any dietary issues that may arise during pregnancy.
Your nutrition session will address common topics of concern such as: food aversions and cravings, fatigue, consuming an appropriate amount of nutrient dense foods, adequate fluid intake, and individualized supplementation if warranted. You will receive a streamlined plan that focuses on your personal food preferences, daily schedule and activities and exercise regimen. Your personalized meal plan will concentrate on the appropriate calorie/protein/fat requirements based on your individual needs, and include a sample meal plan with several menu options. Together, we can empower expectant mothers with the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize nutritional intake for a healthy pregnancy.
Exercise for Multifetal Pregnancies
Many women when faced with the news of a multifetal gestation have numerous questions in regards to exercise during pregnancy. Most believe that strict bedrest early on is expected to achieve a successful outcome. Though limitation of activity is a cornerstone in some treatment plans with multiples, there is very good evidence that light to moderate exercise is beneficial to good maternal and fetal outcomes.
By teaming with our Ochsner Fitness Center's experienced and dedicated exercise trainers, Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center has designed specific exercise regimens to help keep mothers and babies healthy during pregnancy. As part of care at Ochsner, pregnant women are given 2 free months of membership at Ochsner Fitness Center, during which time patients have the option of consultation with a personal exercise trainer experienced in pregnancy care. Additionally, for women who are prescribed limited activity as part of their care we have consultative services with physical and occupational therapists who will outline acceptable exercises to enhance their mental and physical well being.
Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center is devoted to creating a warm and compassionate environment for mothers interested in breastfeeding. Multiple lines of research have shown that breastfeeding has been associated with improved infant outcomes, especially for those born preterm. Our Lactation Services Division consists of dedicated and experienced certified nurses who provide mothers with education, guidance and the tools for successful breastfeeding.
As part of you care here at Ochsner, pre-delivery consultative services are available in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy to introduce expectant mothers to the principles of breastfeeding. Patients meet with one of our lactation consultants and are given a personalized assessment which includes dietary recommendations, nursing techniques, and commonly asked questions. Mothers are also given supportive assistance in the transition back to work or school while continuing breastfeeding.
One rare, but very serious, complication specific to twin pregnancies is twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Twin to twin transfusion syndrome, or TTTS, is a condition which occurs in twin pregnancies that share their placenta, also known as monochorionic twins. Approximately 1 in 5 twin pregnancies are monochorionic. In 10-15% of these pregnancies, for reasons we are not sure, blood circulation in one twin (called a donor) shifts to the other twin (called a recipient). This preferential shift in blood leads to serious complications for both fetuses. If left untreated, TTTS can lead to death of one or more of the twins in over 80% of the cases.
At Ochsner's Multifetal Pregnancy Center of New Orleans one of our first goals in twin pregnancies is to determine early on if a twin gestation is at risk for TTTS. We accomplish this by close ultrasound inspection of the pregnancy and it's placenta at the very first visit. For those mothers whose twins are discovered to share a placenta, our team of Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists provides high-definition ultrasound surveillance every two weeks looking specifically for signs of TTTS. Numerous lines of evidence have shown improved newborn outcomes with early diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy. With early diagnosis of TTTS options including amniotic fluid reduction, in-utero laser therapy and/or delivery are available. Our team of caregivers is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive innovative care to maximize pregnancy outcomes.

The Independent profiles Ruth Amos during Global Entrepreneurship Week
The Independent profiled 10 successful young British entrepreneurs, including one of our brilliant inspirational speakers Ruth Amos, age 22 who designed the StairSteady as part of a GCSE design project and has subsequently set up her business to launch the product to enable people with limited mobility to use the stairs confidently. Ruth told The Independent:
"Being a young entrepreneur can be a challenge – my view is that you can start a business at any age but the important thing is to identify a need for your product and be passionate about achieving your goals. Age can be your biggest weakness but also your biggest strength. I now run StairSteady Ltd full time and use my experience to help other young, aspirant entrepreneurs by giving talks in schools and colleges. The most important piece of advice is to ask questions. Don't be afraid, as it is the only way to improve and grow, and everyone has been inexperienced at one stage. Take on board other people's opinions, learn from them but make sure you make the final decision for yourself – you have to believe in every decision you make. The most important part of entrepreneurship is passion so, above all else, enjoy it."

(Vancouver, BC, Canada)
Pattern is James C Brett JB319. I've picked up 33 stitches according to the directions.
Next row: knit
Next row: (K1,P1)7 times, K2togtbl, K1, K2tog, (P1,K1)7 times. 31 stitches.
That all was fine but I don't understand how I'm supposed to end up with 29 stitches if I follow the next part in the instructions:
Next row: Rib 2, cast off 1 st, rib to 5 sts at centre of V, P2tog, P1,P2togtbl, rib to last 3sts, cast off 1 st, rib 1. 29 sts
I would think if I followed the next instructions I would have the same number of stitches as I started with since I cast on 2 stitches and I knit 2 together two times . . .
But according to the instructions I'll have 2 less stitches in each of the next two rows.
Next row: Rib 2, cast on 1 st, rib to 5sts at centre of V, K2togtbl, K1, K2tog, rib to last 2 sts, cast on 1 st, rib 2. 27 sts.
Next row: Rib 2, cast on 1 st, rib to 5 sts at centre of V, P2tog, P1, P2togtbl, rib to last 2 sts, cast on 1 st, rib 2. 25 sts.
Cast off in rib.

Professionals with Purpose
work-life integration for smart people
Many people struggle with disengagement from their work and balancing the needs of their work with the need to enjoy a private life. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Work-life balance is a thing of the past. What professionals with purpose can pursue in the 21st century is work-life integration: doing great work as an expression of life, and bringing personality and life into work.
Note: Work-life integration is not about working more and harder. It's about getting paid while at the same time living a fulfilling life.
other audiences I work for
How can I help you?
Maybe I can inspire the audience at your next company event or conference. Or with my books, I could offer you concrete games, tools, and practices for your organization.

Finding the Appropriate Forage Value for Analyzing the Feasibility of Public Range Improvements
Document Type
Publication Date
To complete economic analysis of range improvements completed on the Oak Creek Management area of central Utah, we needed an estimate of the value of forage. A review of the literature revealed several methods of estimating forage values. These methods yielded eight estimates of public rangeland forage ranging from $1.23 to $30 per animal unit month (AUM). Six of the estimates were based on actual market transactions or current administered prices and were the most reflective of actual economic processes. The best estimates of value were those for leasing similar rangeland in the immediate area.
